Abstract

This project evaluated the effectiveness and relevance of training sessions offered through the Local Community Cadres (LCC) and Make-It-Take-It (MITI) programs by HANDS in Autism® between 2021 and 2025. Structured participant feedback was collected through REDCap surveys and analyzed using Excel and Power BI to assess knowledge gains, content utility, and satisfaction. Among 443 responses, “Increased Knowledge” consistently ranked highest across both programs, highlighting their educational value. Topics such as "Tasks, Adaptations, and Data-Driven Decision-Making" received the most favorable ratings, especially within the MITI sessions. Findings guided actionable recommendations for expanding high-impact topics and tailoring future training to participant backgrounds. This project enhanced skills in data cleaning, visualization, and survey analysis while supporting data-driven improvements for community-based autism training programs.
